Abstract:Using a two-dimensional scanning fluorophotometer, we studied 50 subjects with symmetric ocular involvement of Fuchs' dystrophy without epithelial edema. Twenty-six subjects with confluent or nearly confluent cornea gutata with increased corneal thickness and 24 subjects with mild to moderate cornea guttata with normal corneal thickness were compared to normal control subjects. There were no statistically significant differences in endothelial permeability between the three groups. Corneal thickness was significantly increased in the subjects with confluent to nearly confluent guttae, however. These results suggest that endothelial pump function may be affected in subjects with advanced cornea guttata with stromal edema.
